Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2

“Mark Sachs, President, and Judi Sachs, Secretary, have a family relationship.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. The Form is then reviewed by the organization's President and Treasurer in detail. These individuals then discuss the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review (with modifications where necessary), the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“The Board of Directors reviews all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. All board members are required to disclose conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between the organization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. The organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15A

“Line 15a - The Executive Director's compensation is approved by the Personnel Committee on the Board. Comparability data is used, and the approval process is documented. Line 15b - The organization does not compensate any other officers. Therefore, this question was answered no in accordance with the instructions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. The Form is then reviewed by the organization's President and Treasurer in detail. These individuals then discuss the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review (with modifications where necessary), the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Board of Directors reviews all potential conflicts of interest at least annually. All board members are required to disclose conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between the organization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. The organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Line 15a - The Executive Director's compensation is approved by the Personnel Committee on the Board. Comparability data is used, and the approval process is documented. Line 15b - The organization does not compensate any other officers. Therefore, this question was answered no in accordance with the instructions.
